Sectarian graffiti has been painted in the Bangor area warning "Sinn Fein not welcome".

The graffiti also states "K.A.T".

North Down Sinn Fein have welcomed the prompt response by Ards and North Down council after they raised their concerns regarding the sectarian graffiti.

"We condemn all such sectarian actions, from whatever source, and look forward to building a new future based upon equality, respect and a better future for all of our community," a North Down Sinn Fein spokesperson said.
